The Court of Appeal urged Mr Falana, who is ASUU’s lawyer, to toe the path of his years-long campaigns as an advocate of the rule of law...
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has challenged renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, to ensure his client, the Academic Staff Union of Universities , complies with the order compelling the union to end its ongoing strike.
It will be exactly one week on Friday since the order was given, but ASUU has yet to call off its strikex which started almost eight months ago. But Mr Falana, during the hearing, withdrew the prayer for stay of execution of the National Industrial Court’s order, opting to pursue only the prayer for leave to appeal against the lower court’s ruling.
Such an exception is when the order is given without jurisdiction or the affected party is challenging the validity of the order.
